Uh, so, can you, or can't you, eat your pudding?
What can I do with Hemp?
Does anyone know how to " do something with it "?
Like ya know... turn the plant into clothes or wool or paper or stuff..........
And does Hemp have the same " sativa " " indica " " ruderalis " categories as regular cannabis.........????????
Questions. Questions. Questions.
Google still exists in 2013.
I spent all dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yesterdayyyyyyyyyyyyyy googlingggggggg
and google cant tell the difference btw Hemp and Cannabis........ an neither can most people!
so many comments: " Grow Hemp Sativa!" Its a great smoke! HUH? Great smoke with 1 % THC
Google chats out its arse!
I want a real fake forum person to tell me the fake real truth!!!!!!!
Kodank! - give it to me straight! Tell me yor secrets!
"Hemp for Victory!" was a WWII slogan even accompanied by a propaganda video that is on the internet somewhere. There was just a bill introduced to legalize growing hemp again recognizing it is not the same as Cannabis and should be grown here again imstead of imported. Maybe all this was covered, I didnt read back a page or two just jumping in on a Sunday morning.
Lucky for you I spin and weave. Cannabis is different from Hemp. Hemp is the non psychoactive form of Cannabis. However you can make fiber to spin and weave from Cannabis as well as Hemp. But Hemp is traditionally used. I've harvested the bast fiber off my cannabis stalks and have spun thread and woven fabric.
You handle cannabis like you handle flax. You dry, then rett then you dry again and put it through a flax break and finally you scutch and hackle the tow off it. It leaves you with a very fine, lightly grey fiber. Amazing stuff really, I get a kick out of a fabric whose flower's I smoked. But yeah it's some work to do.
Actually this was the USA's form of Khadi. Ghandi got the idea from US! This is precisely how we gained our independence from Great Britain. We stopped sending them our raw materials and buying the finished goods from them. Our Linsey-Woolsey helped us gain our freedom. Obviously this was based on our raising of flax but there are coverlets out there and many other fabrics from our Hemp production. Hemp can be nicer than Linen actually if it's grown and processed correctly. But man there's some nice linen out there!
It's just not politically correct to tell the real story of how important cannabis was to our forefathers.
Brilliant! Im inspired! It seems hard work thatz worth the effort! Like u say....... utilize it all...... smoke it... scutch it (?) ... hackle it... (?)
(back to google for those)

Also there is video of Henry Fords' car made out of hemp. Well worth the look as they take a sledgehammer to it and it doesnt dent.
If you are interested I am glad to help you. To learn to spin start with wool, it's the easiest. Then save your cannabis stalks. You need to let them get 3' feet or larger minimum.

They were also able to extract the oils from bud to make fuel..
